The Sycamore City Council has approved a proposal to allow video gambling in certain establishments, including bars and fraternal organizations.  A 2009 state law gives local governments the authority to permit or ban the machines, regardless of the state's decision to legalize them.

A major road reconstruction project bordering the Chicago-Rockford International Airport is expected to boost business in the region. 

Road construction is becoming a familiar scene this time of year. For the month of June, construction is expected to continue around the revamped Machesney Town Center.  All businesses will remain open during the road improvements, but it may take longer to get around.

Construction continues this month for the inside lane of Highway 251 around the area formerly known as the Machesney Park Mall.  New turn lanes are being added on 251 between Copper Drive and Roosevelt Road.

Meanwhile, pavement will be moving east, framing the intersection of Illinois 173 and Illinois 251.
